It’s just a community forum. Why not have something different than another boring one that everyone is just going to forget?

Also I wouldn’t worry about this going away, heard a few things.

You’re right, Dunatis. This forum doesn’t exactly live up to the high standards of humor set by forums such as Math Blasters. However, if you would please allow us veterans this one single week of joy, I would sure appreciate it. Thanks.

I never realized I had this kind of power to allow or disallow stuff! But worry not for I shall not abuse it, instead I will be but one of the shockingly few people who find absolutely nothing at all entertaining or interesting about this Forum. I know not how this brings you joy so I will observe and attempt to learn.

This forum made maaaany people who hadn’t played forumbuildr in ages play (me included), so far Fran is Fat has brought only good things Log in to see images!

Sniged

This forum made me go to forumbuildr for the first time in months. I wish I’d known about it last week so I could’ve upvoted it lol

I am one of the few still-active posters from the first months of this sites creation, and i have never used ForumBuilder until Fran is Fat won yesterday.

The RolePlayers of Flamebate got a victory and a forum they can enjoy.

I don’t understand this concern that the forum wouldn’t remain. Why in the world would you think it WOULDN’T?

Prolly because last time it won it was deleted anyway Log in to see images! Granted, it won fair and square this time, but still… I’m sure people still worry about that kind of stuff.

Because of the illegal votes. It didn’t win fairly.

The only other forum which was ever removed was one which was too close to an Ep2 forum, shortly before Ep2 was released. And that was done before it was published.

This thread is unnecessary at this point.

Yeah I remember that.

It won, fair and square. It did not have illegal multis. A ton of forums also have stupid jokes and you don’t see myself or any other whining about that. We decided to abandon buildr since we knew we weren’t going to win against the unfunny fabulous persons from ED, then 4chan.

I just took an opportunity to snipe a win, the first forum had 3 votes before I submitted FiF. How does that count as rigged voting? Oh. I guess it’s rigged because it’s something you don’t like. How could we ever go against your will, huh?

The point is, in bold caps so you can understand better. THIS IS A GAME ABOUT TROLLING. WE GOT FORUMBUILDR TROLLED. I know you don’t really like it because “lol we’re all serious business HEY LOOK I’M TAKING A ****ING GAME SERIOUSLY I’M GETTING TORN AND APPALED THAT SOMETHING NOT ****ING SERIOUS BUSINESS WON! RAAAAAAAAAGE Log in to see images!”

People like you sucked the fun out of Forumwarz. People like you made buildr completely unenjoyable.

Also if you didn’t know, Dolphin Love was the most extremely rigged Forum out there. Yeah, even more than FiF v1. MySpace Tom wrote a script that made people upvote the forum once they visited a url, and submitted a random tubmail to someone else containing the URL. In the end it had about 150 upvotes. Hope I didn’t shatter your dreams of “democracy”.

tl;dr get your bull**** out of here and let people who don’t take stuff seriously have fun for a week Christ. One week without Forumbuildr is not going to kill you.

Sincerely, a former builder.

Whoa. Just because you successfully “trolled” forumbuildr this week, doesn’t mean you have a license to troll other players in Civil Discussion.

As for this petition: We’re going to discuss what to do with this forum tonight, and then we’ll make an official statement. Personally, I think this week’s build might still be salvageable, but we’re going to have to wait a bit to see how it turns out.

In the meantime, a fair (unofficial) warning: it’s not “anything goes” time. Don’t post shock images in forumbuildr (one player’s already been banned). Don’t votewhore here in Flamebate. And you know what? I’d be careful about spamming the Logo Design submissions, especially if you’re just stealing/reposting other people’s designs. Even though forumbuildr might be ****ed this week, any kind of plagiarism is a pet peeve of mine.

As far as your post is concerned, Fran: I resent the accusation that people who happen to be skilled at forumbuildr “sucked the fun out of Forumwarz.” People like Dunatis are willing and able to make consistently funny entries even when the subject matter in a given week is a bit lacklustre. I also resent the accusation that, because someone arrived here from ED or 4chan, they are automatically “unfunny fabulous persons.” And, as always, I resent the accusation that because this is a “game about trolling,” it’s the players’ duty to troll each and every aspect of it.

Dolphin Love never should’ve made it, but it turned out to be a great forum build. Fran is Fat still has that potential. Then again, if eight pages of “fine upstanding member of society fine upstanding member of society fine upstanding member of society” is that hilarious to you…well, I can see why so many people have quit forumbuilding.
